He went away to college and that is when things got really bad. His main drug of choice was cocaine and he has a serious alcohol addiction. In the past 15 months he has been in rehab 3 times with his longest time clean 5 months. Tomorrow he will be 3 months clean and sober. For right now he is on the right track, and I am just trying to pick up the pieces of my life and find some peace.

I know exactly what you're saying here, I felt that way for such a long time, for years. Write me sometime!Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.com
